...because of more magical Christmas lights...

...downtown in El Born,  the city continues to sparkle!

... because the beautiful 2013 Christmas lights are on....

...just as the cold and dark of winter arrives, the city lights up and sparkles with the las luces de Navidad (Christmas lights)!    Beautiful Barcelona!

...because of a Cook-in sushi class...

...down in the depths of Barrio Gotic, not too far from Ramblas, hidden behind the graffiti door, is where one can learn the art of making sushi, tempura and other japanese delicacies... from a Catalan with a passion.   Jordi hosts cooking nights where he cooks and teaches and we watch- and cook (optional)- and eat (some of the best sushi I have ever eaten!). Fun and delicious...  what more can one ask for from a class!

...because of beatuiful Barcelona by boat...

... for a different perspective on this city, sailing on a summer-like November day (even warm enough for a very quick dip!)  What a treat! Follwed by a spectacular sunset in the port... Beautiful Barcelona at its best!
